Getting permission to film in India is never an easy task. Understandably, the authorities don’t like foreign organisations focusing exclusively on the need. But there is a huge need, especially when children are dying of starvation on a daily basis.
A fundraising bicycle ride across Rajasthan was a great opportunity for some famous UK chefs to see the need with their own eyes, and do something about it thanks to the help of Action Against Hunger. Presented by food writer and TV chef Gizzi Erskine, we follow the pack of riders as they visit clinics to get an understanding of the challenges that face millions of mothers and children in India.

As part of our longstanding relationship with the BBC, we were brought on board to cover the legendary Nine Lakes Challenge. Taking place in one of the UK’s most beautiful regions – the Lake District – participants face a gruelling 38km bike ride, followed by a 12km hike around the nine lakes, all in 9 hours.
We filmed this single-day challenge in the Lake District as 60 Business Friends raised £100,000 for a good cause: BBC Children in Need.
From tech conferences to marathons and beyond, our event coverage services capture the story, and the action.

After more than 650 miles on the road, Eddie Izzard was on the final day of his epic 27-marathons-in-27-days challenge in support of Sport Relief.
From Mthatha (near Mvezo, the birthplace of Nelson Mandela) to the finishing line in Pretoria, we documented Eddie’s incredible journey every step of the way, ending with this film: “Eddie Izzard Marathon Man: The Final Push’.
Series Producer Steve Maud worked with Director of Photography Aaron Witchard to deliver daily content for BBC3’s new exclusively online channel on behalf of Lion TV.
Filming, editing and uploading over 100 short films in less than a month required absolute focus, logistical precision, and not a little stamina of our own. Over the course of the gruelling 27 days, Eddie’s run captured the public’s imagination across the UK and beyond, and in the process raised more than £1 million for Sport Relief.
Views of this film have reached over 32,000 plays on YouTube.

David Walliams set himself the ambitious challenge of swimming the full length of the River Thames – all 127 miles of it – for Sport Relief in 2012.
The challenge for us was to film him in action (following in boat, on foot and by scooter). Over seven days, editing on the road, we produced daily video packages that were published on social and made available to news outlets to feature on the evening news.
